Kirtan (chanting) at
Unity Eastside this Friday, July 9th, 7:00 - 9:00 pmKirtan
is an ancient yogic practice, very different from the postures and breathing we
practice. In kirtan we sing. We sing mantras, not long complicated
ones; repeating the same mantra over and over until it takes on a life of its
own. Kirtan is a devotional practice. meditative, opening
the heart in a way very different from the other yogic practices. The
ancient sages have said that chanting is the fast track to peace and foretold
that it would be the most important practice for our troubled times. This
kirtan movement has been growing for several decades in the western
world. There are many kirtan leaders, Jai Uttal, Krishna Das and Deva
Premal are some of the more well known, but there are many. Check them
out online.

There are several kirtan groups in Tallahassee. On the 2nd Friday of each
month one group meets at Unity Eastside, 8551 Buck Lake Road near Chaires
Crossroads. We will meet this Friday, July 9th, starting at 7:00,
ending at 9:00, you need no previous experience, you need not have a beautiful
voice. This kirtan is led by Gretchen Hein on harmonium, guitar and
kartals, Jeffji on guitar and Adam Gaffney providing rhythms on the
drums.

Please email Gretchen, tallahasseeyoga@... if you have
any questions or want to know about other upcoming chanting events.

Hope to see you at a chanting event sometime soon,
Gretchen
